Solstice greetings one and all.

Am I really the only one who likes prefers the cold and the long dark nights of late Autumn and Winter ?

This is about my favourite day of the year because it has the longest night ! I don't look forward to the longer days, nor the Summer heat.

I enjoy the garden too much, and at the moment I have chronic withdrawal symptoms
